Its purpose is to assure the people of Kent and Medway that an
assessment of potential risks has taken place and is informing the
approach to joined-up emergency planning both locally and at the
regional and national level.

The inclusion of a hazard or threat in the Kent Community Risk
Register does not mean that the Kent Resilience Forum believes the
risk will materialise or that if it were to do so, it would be of
the scale described. The risk scenarios are reasonable worst case
assumptions upon which risk assessments have been based.
